Barometer of Gender Diversity in Leadership Bodies 2026
Beyond boards, where parity is nearly achieved (46%), the barometer tracks gender balance where it is now decided: 13.3% of SBF 120 chairs are women, 10% of CEOs — and 80% of female directors are independent, against 58% of men.

Produced with the IFA, this fourth edition sets out the measurable progress, the gaps that persist, and how diversity contributes to long-term value creation and competitiveness.
